November 17, 2010

A man from Roselle has been convicted after he was caught in an undercover drug sting in Hammond with a 2-month-old child in his car, Lake County, Ind., officials said today.

Christopher Bryant, 29, faces up to 60 years in prison, according to a statement from the Lake County prosecutor's office. Bryant was found guilty of two counts of dealing in a narcotic drug, resisting law enforcement, possession of marijuana and being a habitual substance offender.

He was last arrested in Hammond on Sept. 7, just after he sold a gram of heroin to a police informant for $200, the statement said.

When officers stopped the car Bryant was in, they saw that a woman was driving and the child was in the rear seat, buckled into a car safety seat.
